readx;? Ning Nannan, who was responsible for welcoming Shangguan Xiu were Foreign Minister Zhang Jiuwei and Hou General Chun Yufeng. Both of them belong to the core ministers www.biquge.info of the Ningnan Imperial Court, and the Ningnan Imperial Court sent the two of them to welcome Shangguanxiu, which can also be seen that Ningnan attaches great importance to Shangguanxiu's visit.

The day after Shangguan Xiu arrived in Ningguan, Fengguo sent a customs clearance document to Ningnan, and Zhang Jiuwei and Chun Yufeng crossed the border and entered Ningguan.

Shangguan Xiu personally met the two of them, and specially took them to the camp of the Feng Army to inspect to show that the Feng Army was strong and strong.

The large camp of the Feng army was built according to the size of a million army, and its total area was larger than that of ten Ningguan combined, even if you stood on the mountain and looked down, you could not reach the end of the camp at a glance.

Shangguan Xiu did not shy away from taking Zhang Jiuwei and Chun Yufeng to visit the Feng Army camp, and his purpose could not be more obvious, that is, to show off the strength of the Wind Country to the two of them.

Zhang Jiuwei and Chun Yufeng knew that instead of being nervous, the two of them were relieved, and Shangguan Xiu's actions undoubtedly further showed that the Wind Country had no intention of attacking Haotian, and its purpose was only to deter by force.

That night, Shangguan Xiu held a banquet in Ningguan to entertain Zhang Jiuwei and Chun Yufeng.

Shangguan Xiu treated each other politely, and while Zhang Jiuwei and Chun Yufeng were quite useful, they also repeatedly promised Shangguan Xiu that Haotian would be responsible for the safety of his visit throughout the whole process, and there would be no accidents during the period.

Zhang Jiuwei and Chun Yufeng did not come alone, the two also commanded 100,000 elite soldiers, who were responsible for escorting along the way. It's just that the 100,000 Ningnan troops are not easy to enter the territory of the Wind Country, and they are currently stationed near the border between the two countries.

In the early morning of the next day, Shangguan Xiu set off, accompanied by Zhang Jiuwei and Chun Yufeng, left Ningguan, officially stepped into the land of Ningnan, and began his visit to Ningnan.

Entering the boundary of Ningnan, the gendarmerie led by Shangguan Xiu and the Ningnan Army converged and marched towards Tianjing, the capital of Ningnan.

At noon, the army arrived at the border town of Ninnan, Jincheng.

Jincheng is an old city with a history of thousands of years, and it is an important town of trade between Ningnan and Fengguo. Jincheng is a relatively open town, because there were many merchants in the wind country here in the past, the people of Jincheng are also more tolerant of the wind people, and they do not have too deep hatred.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Jiuwei and Chun Yufeng decided to let Shangguanxiu stay in Jincheng, rest for half a day, and then go tomorrow.

Zhang Jiuwei and Chun Yufeng thought that the local people in Jincheng were open, and even if they didn't welcome Shangguanxiu's arrival, they wouldn't be too repulsive, but this time they were both wrong, not long after Shangguanxiu's honor guard entered the city, the people on both sides of the street burst into bursts of boos.

Most of the people in Jincheng are pure Ningnan people, and they are the group of people who hate Shangguanxiu the most.

The Zhenjun army under the command of Shangguan Xiu was brutal, during the national war, the slaughter of the city in Ningnan was commonplace, the most critical point is that every time Shangguan Xiu led the army to attack Ningnan, he pursued the policy of suppressing the pure Ningnan people with foreign races to the fallen areas, which made the pure Ningnan people all hate Shangguan Xiu.

This time, Shangguan Xiu appeared on the land of Ningnan as an envoy of the Wind Country, and the pure people of Ningnan would not be polite to him. As the honor guard went deep into Jincheng, the surrounding people became more and more excited, and the scene began to get out of control.

Although the Ningnan Army, which was in charge of the escort, would arrest the people who threw stones and debris as soon as possible, they could only stop some of them, not all of them.

Inside the carriage, listening to the sound of stones and debris smashing on the wall of the carriage from time to time, Shangguan Xiu sat cross-legged, his face full of calmness, drinking tea slowly, not affected by the outside world at all.

The holy woman who was in the same car with him glanced at him meaningfully and said with a smile: "It seems that the people of Ningnan are not very welcome to you!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and asked rhetorically: "If the people of Ningnan show me a welcome attitude, Wanjing, do you think that is a respect for me, or a humiliation for me?"

Fengguo and Ningnan have always been enemy countries, for hundreds of years, they have never changed, and the war has never really subsided.

The saint understood what he meant, and she shrugged her shoulders and said, "It is better to be popular than to be hated." ”

"I am a general, and a general is not something that the enemy should love, but something that the enemy should fear. The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth were raised, the curtain of the car window was slightly raised, he looked outside, and said with a sneer: "The more disgusted and repulsive they become, it means that the more frightened and panicked they are, which is good." ”

"Not ashamed, but proud. The saint pursed her lips and said disapprerovingly.

"Isn't this worthy of honor?" Shangguan Xiu smiled as he spoke.

After walking for a while, the honor guard stopped. The shouts outside the car were deafening, "Shangguan Xiu get out of Haotian!" "Shangguan Xiu get out of Haotian!" "Wind ghosts are shameless, mix up Haotian!"

After waiting for a while, the curtain of the carriage was raised, and Zhang Jiuwei came in from outside.

The old man looked a little embarrassed now, with a rotten vegetable leaf hanging on his head, and a lot of rancid vegetable soup sticking to his clothes. Shangguan Xiu looked at him with a smile and asked, "Boss Zhang, why don't you leave?"

Zhang Jiuwei's face was ugly, and he said hesitantly: "Your Highness, the old minister thinks that it is not appropriate to stay in Jincheng today, and the speed of travel is faster, and we can reach Dongping City in Xiaoshan around dark." The scenery of Xiaoshan is picturesque, beautiful and exquisite, far better than Jincheng. ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled, it is estimated that Zhang Jiuwei is also in a hurry now, and when he rushed to Dongping City, the sky was already dark, what scenery would he still enjoy at that time? What else should he see?

He didn't break it, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang is the master, I am a guest, so naturally the guest is the host." ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your understanding, thank you Your Highness for your understanding!" Zhang Jiuwei bowed again and again, and suddenly remembered something, he looked at the holy woman beside Shangguan Xiu, thinking that she was just a little maid, and asked with a dry smile: "Can you ask Your Highness to retreat?"

Shangguan Xiu stretched out his hand with a smile, grabbed the waist of the holy woman, took her into his arms, and said, "She is my woman, what does Lord Zhang have to say, but it doesn't matter, there is no need to avoid it." ”

The saint was hugged by Shangguan Xiu, her face flushed, but she also understood that in order to hide her identity, she could only do this.

She approached Shangguan Xiu's arms, her body only stiffened for a moment, then she relaxed, and picked up an orange petal with a smile and put it in Shangguan Xiu's mouth.

Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, his smile at this time was not pretended, but he felt that it was rare for the saint to cooperate with him in acting.

Seeing that the two of them were talking and laughing, sweet and sweet, Zhang Jiuwei muttered secretly, did he see something that he shouldn't see. But after thinking about it, who Shangguan Xiu likes and how many women there are around him are all about Fengguo, and they have nothing to do with him.

He took out a scroll of paper from his cuff, handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Please take a look at Your Highness." ”

Shangguan Xiu looked at the paper scroll he handed over, and mouthed the holy woman Nunu in his arms. The saint took him by the waist, sat up from his arms, and pinched him by the side of the waist. Shangguan Xiu was silent on the surface, but he grinned in pain in his heart.

The holy woman took the scroll of paper, respectfully handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said softly and obediently: "Your Highness!"

Shangguan Xiu 'doted' on the nose of the saint, his movements seemed to be flirting between lovers, but in fact, the saint's tears were about to fall, and her nose was so sore that she was itching. She had a smile on her face, her teeth clucking.

Shangguan Xiu was in a good mood, took the paper scroll, unfolded it, looked at it twice, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

It turned out that the paper scroll was drawn on a map, a map of Nanding County, Ningnan. Shangguan Xiu raised his gaze, slowly rolled up the map, shook it in his hand, and asked, "Lord Zhang, what does this mean?"

"This is a gift from the Great Prince to His Royal Highness. ”

"Nandingjun?"

"The eldest prince said that if one day, the eldest prince can become a great treasure, in order to repair the relationship between Haotian and the Wind Country, he is willing to sell Nanding County to the Wind Country for a price of one or two silver. When Zhang Jiuwei spoke, his eyes looked at Shangguan Xiu without blinking, not missing any slight change in the expression on his face.

His words were very vague, and he did not point out that the eldest prince and the second prince were competing for the throne, nor did he say that the eldest grandson Huaide was terminally ill, but only explained what kind of benefits the eldest grandson Boyuan would bring to the Wind Country once he became the emperor.

Selling Nanding County for one or two pieces of silver is equivalent to ceding Nanding County to Fengguo, but the precondition is that Huang Ziyuan must sit on the throne of Haotian Kingdom.

Such a big gift, of course Huang Ziyuan would not give it to the Wind Country for no reason, what he needed was naturally that the Wind Country could stand on his side and secretly help him ascend to the throne.

Shangguan Xiu played with the paper roll, gently tapping his forehead, and his face was cloudy and sunny, changing uncertainly.

It can be seen that he is seriously pondering his words, Zhang Jiuwei owes himself, and says with a smile: "The eldest prince is full of sincerity, and I hope that His Royal Highness will think twice, and the old minister will retire first!" After speaking, without waiting for Shangguan Xiu's reply, he withdrew from the carriage.

Not to mention that the saint didn't expect that the eldest grandson Boyuan would not hesitate to sell the territory of Ningnan in order to compete for the throne, Shangguan Xiu also didn't expect that the eldest grandson Boyuan could do this.

He leaned back, raised his head, took a leisurely breath, and said, "It seems that Huang Ziyuan has been at a disadvantage in this battle for the throne.

"This is also understandable, Huang Zihao has already won over the Xin family, and the Xin family has also clearly expressed support for Huang Zihao, and Huang Ziyuan has not been smooth in winning over the Jun family, and has not received a clear statement from the Jun family. ”

"You will help him!" the holy woman looked at Shangguan Xiu seriously and said in a firm tone.

Shangguan Xiu smiled, lifted the teapot, poured two cups of tea, pushed one of the cups in front of the holy woman, and said: "Two sheep with noble blood are vying to be the head sheep, and one of them actually forgot to ask the wolf for help. Such a selfish and stupid fool, how can I not help him?"
